Because I love you...


Because I love you I do everything you ask

Because I love you I cook and I clean

I bring you take out when you ask

I cook when you ask

Because I love I don’t go out at night

Because I love you I don’t hang out with him

I am always available for you

I always arrive when you need something

Because I love you I don’t expect monogamy

Because I love you I don’t need a ring

I don’t want a wedding 

I don’t want anything special

Because I love you I don’t read your text messages

Because I love you I don’t get jealous

I don’t get upset when I see her

I believe and understand your reasons

Because I love you I don't want a family 

Because I love you I’ll get rid of something you're not ready for

I will go to Planned Parenthood

I will not ask any questions

Because I love you I’ll stop wearing glasses

Because I love you I’ll consider plastic surgery

I will start to notice my flaws

I will obsess over my imperfects 

Because I love you I let you touch me when I’m not ready

Because I love you I belong to you

I will become your property

I am subservient to you

Because I love you I let you yell at me

Because I love you I take all of your hits

I do understand your frustration

I do know what you're going through

Because you love me

And I can't live without you
